Description Suggest change

Itching for some more handcracks after ticking Spectreman? Check out the upper tier of The Heap (South Face). This is a great pitch of thin hands to layback fingers to a wide crux exit. Belay/rap at the anchors atop the formation.

Location Suggest change

Climb any of the pitches on the lower tier (Approach, Country Swing, Call Me Barney) to access the upper tier where there are a couple handcracks along with a chimney and fingercrack.

Protection Suggest change

Thin hands and some fingers (i.e., #0.4 Camalot or orange TCU through #2.5 Friend, etc..) I only placed 1 #2 Camalot size above the crux, ... not needed.
